Then what you can do is split your major directories into separate partitions. Like, /usr can have it's own partition, /home can have it's own partition. All you do for it is copy the files over to those new partitions from old directories, and then edit /etc/fstab to indicate where to mount those partitions to. For example, if you are creating a new partition /dev/hda2 and you want to put /usr on it, you copy the files from your old /usr onto the /dev/hda2, and add a line to /etc/fstab to tell that /usr is to mounted to /dev/hda2 > What directory trees can safely be moved to another partition? /usr /home /var Andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrei S.
